Prepare for strike we are sure the of getting better wage hike.
Comrades,
The flash strike against the recent PF
Rules, 2016 of the Central Government (i.e., Centre’s new rule on
Provident Fund withdrawal) by large section of Garment Factory Workers
and other Industrial Workers of Karnataka State on 18th and 19th April
2016 received immense response and there was a massive protest which
resulted in road blocks for hours together, thereby the entire traffic
of Bengaluru City was paralyzed. The traffic was also severely affected
on Mysore, Tumkur and Hosur roads.
The COC Karnataka extended moral support
and sympathy for this Labour Movement. The February 10th notification
was under attack from trade unions from the beginning. The notification
was published in the gazette on February 26 and created technical
problems.
The violence in Bengaluru prompted the
Labour Ministry, Govt. of India to cancel the February 10 notification
which put restrictions on 100% withdrawal from the PF account.
Within few hours of protest in Bengaluru
and other parts of Karnataka state , the Hon’ble Minsiter for Labour,
Shri.Bandaru Dattatreya acted upon and withdrawn the notification issued
on February 10th and informed that the old system will continue. This
is a victory for the workers of the country.
This clearly shows that the Government
of India does not want to antagonize the workers. If the Central
Government employees also participate in trade union action against the
retrograde recommendations of the VII CPC similar to the Garment Workers
of Karnataka, we too can get similar results and hope for a better wage
revision and a decent wage hike.
This Labour movement of the Garment
Workers of Karnataka state is an eye-opener for all other working class
in the entire country, Comrades if one state and one particular working
class movement can bring changes to the policy of the Central
Government, if the entire the entire country the Central Government
employees agitate against the retrograde recommendations of the 7th CPC
(where only 14 % wage hike was provided against the staff side demand of
80% wage hike and also reducing the number of allowances and reduction
in HRA rates) then the Central Government shall provide the decent wage
hike by settling the issue of wage hike with the staff side NJCA like
the PF issue being settled.
Comrades it is high time to prepare for
11th July strike of Central Government employees under the banner of
NJCA. We shall get good results and Central Government shall grant
better wage hike than the 7th CPC recommendations. Better we prepare for
11th July strike better wage hike we get.
Comradely yours
(P.S.Prasad)
